The maps are excellent, the deployment of AI and Aux forces is also fine IMHO. All scenarios of the campaign work good, the Russian counterattack against the bridge scenario is expertly set up in how it uses the river and deployment zones for both German and Soviet forces.
Briefings are fine!
Most of my losses were due to AI arty and air and the infernal anti-tank guns. Especially when dug into a trench they were problematic. Stacking of units, something I often avoid, didn't seem to be such a drawback when located in a trench either. I noticed some units were reduced to 0 speed, probably to ensure that they would remain in place defending.
The counterattacks by large numbers of T-34s look scary but tended to end in a massacre of Soviet armour - as long as you can keep some distance to the AI led tanks you can pick them off...
...this didn't work in the Prokorovkha scenario when I underestimated the numbers of T-34s and lost some core tigers to T-34s that got too close. Worst was the Red Air though my core got pounded those Shturmoviks... 
Ammo carriers were essential to restock AP ammo, smart to include in the original core.
Good Job on the campaign!  |
Yes, please allow me to add my kudos. Everything wulfir said and more
.
The battles were quite large (overwhelming?) for my taste, yet of course the high turn numbers made them more historical. These battles lasted most or all of the day. Truly titanic, and the campaign lives up to the spirit of those desperate times.
Well done Cameronius, and never mind that I got bushwhacked at Prokorovkha
